YouTube star Landon Clifford, who was declared brain dead on Aug. 18 following six days in a coma, died by suicide, his wife revealed Friday. He was 19.
In a new YouTube video, “My Husband Passed Away | Telling His Story,” Camryn Clifford opened up about her husband’s battle with anxiety, depression, ADHD and addiction.
“This is definitely going to be the hardest video I’ve ever had to make,” Camryn, 19, began. “It took a while for me to obviously get over the initial shock… and to just gather my feelings and my thoughts and to feel like I’m ready to tell his story. It’s a very important story to be told and it’s my job to tell it, but it’s not an easy story to tell, at all.”
Camryn explained that Landon “started falling into a depression” when she got pregnant with their second daughter, a pregnancy the couple planned. Camryn and Landon, who married in June 2019, share daughters Collette Briar, 2, and Delilah Rose, who was born in May. The couple rose to prominence documenting their lives as teen parents on the YouTube channel Cam&Fam, which has garnered over 1.3 million subscribers.
“Behind the scenes, he was always just kind of going through his own stuff,” she said. “He has had mental health issues for as long as I have known him.”
